While not a Holy Day of Obligation, Ash Wednesday is a day when we will all wish to assist in the offering of the Mass, and of course to receive the ashes. Kindly return your palms from last year's Palm Sunday by Quinquagesima so that they can burned to make the ashes. Stations of the Cross St Michael's will again join with Holy Cross for the Friday night Stations of the Cross and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The services are at St Madeleine Sophie (6440 Greene Street; parking off Clivedon Street), at 7 p.m., beginning February 20th. Fr Grogan and I will share the preaching and officiating. As last year,we will also alternate between “our” rite of Stations, and the one Holy Cross uses. The Newman Community has historically had their Lenten devotions on Wednesdays rather than Fridays, and will continue the custom this year. Stations and Benediction will be at 7 at Our Lady of the Assumption, on February 25th, and March 4th, 11th and 18th. (Since March 25th is the Annunciation, there will be no Stations that night.) A Lenten supper precedes Stations at 6 in the Sacred Heart Chapel downstairs.

This is a time for reflection and prepa- ration before the celebrations of Easter--the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The number forty is significant in the Holy Scriptures. The most notable reference is Jesus’ forty days of tempta- rest of the year running from and it brings our need for a tion in the wilderness which is a reflection of the forty Savior to the forefront. Lent is a time to open the doors days Moses spent on Mount Sinai (Exodus 24:18). Dur- of our hearts a little wider and understand our Lord ing the forty days of Lent Christians recall or relive Jesus’ a little deeper, so that when Good Friday comes, and journey in the wilderness and his sacrifice on the cross of eventually Easter, it is not just another day at church but Calvary. Christian churches that observe Lent use it as a an opportunity to experience the overflowing grace God time for self-examination and repentance, prayer, fasting, has to offer.” and self-denial.

    Ash Wednesday Service February 26, 2020 Holy Communion February 26, 2020 ● 12:00 & 5:30 p.m. Service WELCOME TO EMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH INTRODUCTION On Ash Wednesday we begin our forty-day journey toward Easter with a day of fasting and repentance. Marking our foreheads with dust, we acknowledge that we die and return to the earth. At the same time, the dust traces the life-giving cross indelibly marked on our foreheads at baptism. While we journey through Lent to return to God, we have already been reconciled to God through Christ. We humbly pray for God to make our hearts clean while we rejoice that “now is the day of salvation.” Returning to our baptismal call, we more intentionally bear the fruits of mercy and justice in the world.

R 5Indeed, I was born | steeped in wickedness, a sinner from my | mother's womb. 6Indeed, you delight in truth | deep within me, and would have me know wisdom | deep within. 7Remove my sins with hyssop, and I | shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be pur- | er than snow.
